Shut It Out

I put it in I turn it skyward The world talks But I haven't heard I raise my chin They all keep talking I make a move And they start gawking I don't need a reason But I have a good amount They think I treason Too many to count Let's look ahead Will they sill wonder What if I'm dead I won't shout You won't talk I'm marked with silence The world I block I just shut it out *Written on April 7, 2012*
